We visited Lewes for the Christmas House tour, and Hotel Rodney was one of the few hotels available even with booking a month in advance. They don't require a minimum stay, which is nice for a weekend. But the rooms were very pricy and extremely small. There is no breakfast, but they offered us $3 off for a local restaurant.... More

This hotel was pretty expensive for the off season. The room was very small (delux room) and the walls where so thin we could hear everything our neighbor said. The bed was lumpy and the pillows were flat. I will not go back here. More

Stayed at this quaint, clean, and very accommodating boutique hotel the day after Christmas 2011. Not too many people in the hotel or in the very nice town of Lewes, DE, and that made our stay even better. Two types of rooms are available at the Rodney, so check ahead of time. Ours had a queen bed, not too much... More

This is more of a small hotel rather than a B&B or Inn. My expectations of a B&B or Inn are a bit higher than a hotel and Hotel Rodney did not provide that "little bit more". The PROS: The hotel was nicely decorated. Very trendy and modern. The lobby is inviting (could have used some music though), with friendly... More

We were in Lewes recently and stayed at the Hotel Rodney. Hotel was unique, originally built in 1930's, lobby had a very 'boutique' flavor. Rooms were nicely done, (nothing extravagant), small but standard when considering the period when it was built. Our room was comfortable and quiet, large windows so lot of light filtered in. Lobby area was inviting, wireless... More

The staff here remembered us from our trip before. It always makes me think good things about a hotel to see the same staff working there. Our room was clean, the staff were helpful, and I was happy to have found a discounted rate with their newsletter. I expected the hotel to be really crowded since it was close to... More

Nice little hotel in a great location, clean and modern, but the hardwood floors carry the sounds of walking from the room above and the adjacent stairway. Fortunately, most of the guests were aware of this and trod lightly... it might be more problematic with young children on the loose. Having said that, we did not lose any sleep from... More

My first visit to Lewes and Hotel Rodney was the perfect place to stay. Comfortable, Spotless, a good combination of the vintage and modern decor. Staff very helpful. It is located on a great street convenient for shopping and eating. We had a wonderful weekend.We will return often. Highly recommended. More

So, if you ever miss the opportunity to go to Lewis, Delaware for at least a night (though if you really want to unwind, two or three nights would do the trick), you have to stay at one of the great accommodations that is walking distance to the tiny down town. Hotel Rodney would be one of a few choices.... More
